Slow Cooker Chili and Banana Bread

Tonight I had one child going to dance, 2 children going to church activities, 1 child going to Basketball practice and then the rest of us were home for the night.  Knowing it would be a crazy night I decided that Slow Cooker Chili would be a good idea.  

(Eat when you have time kind of night)

I cooked up 2 lbs of ground beef.  

I added Season Salt, Garlic Powder and Dehydrated Onions to the beef while it cooked.

I then drained the beef, put it in my slow cooker and added 2 cans light red kidney beans

I then added 2 Large Cans of Tomato Juice.

I mixed this up and put in Slow Cooker for 

3 Hours on High.

I served this with 2 sleeves of Saltine Crackers.

For Dessert I made Banana Bread.  It was made of Flour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Powder, Cinnamon, Vanilla, 4 Bananas (these aren't the ones I used...forgot to take picture until mine was in the oven baking.), and 2 eggs.

I then served this with dabs of butter.

This is a picture of what was left before all the kids got back for seconds tonight :)
